Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán said the EU has “isolated itself from the United States now, isolated itself from China because of the trade war and isolated itself from Russia because of the sanction policy” whereas “Hungary has good relation to all three directions. So we are not isolated at all."

00:00So the isolation is relevant to the European Union.
00:04So the European Union has isolated itself from the United States now,
00:08isolated itself from China because of the trade war,
00:12and isolated itself from Russia because of the sanction policy.
00:16So if somebody is isolated here, it is the European Union as such.
00:20Hungary has good relation to all three directions, so we are not isolated at all.
00:24The policy of President Trump in that respect is more than right.
00:28So we have to spend more. The question is for what?
00:32Because now we have various options.
00:35First, we have to spend more money to make stronger our own military capacities and defense capacities.
00:42But at the same time, somebody should finance the Ukrainian army,
00:46which is a huge amount of money, and the Americans will not be part of that in the future.
00:50Then we have to finance somehow the state of Ukraine, because otherwise it would collapse.
00:55So I think these three things together, three packages together, is just simply too much.
01:01So I think Europe cannot afford that. Hungary definitely not.
